I am trying to automate product upload on magento using python and selenium, however i am running into problem uploading images.

I have tried to target the input tag with id="fileupload"

driver.find_element_by_id("fileupload").send_keys('C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Code\magento-bot\image1.png')

It seems to work because when i place the mouse pointer on the upload area the file name shows up, but after submiting there is no image.

I have also tried to click the upload area then select file to upload by doing this:

uploadElement = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//html/body/div[2]/main/div[2]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[5]/div[2]/fieldset/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]')
uploadElement.click()
driver.switch_to.active_element().send_keys(os.getcwd()+"image1.png)

but i end up with this error 'FirefoxWebElement' object is not callable
Lastly, i tried to simulate drag and drop like this:

element = os.getcwd()+"image1.png"
target = bot.find_element_by_id('fileupload')
ActionChains(bot).drag_and_drop(element, target).perform

but i get the error below

AttributeError("move_to requires a WebElement")

Any help will be appreciated.

The interim solution to my problem is AutoIt.

Big thanks to @KunduK How to upload image with angular components using python selenium

I targeted the xpath of the image upload area then autoit did the rest with the code below:
```
autoit.win_wait_active("File Upload",5)
if autoit.win_exists("File Upload"):
   autoit.control_send("File Upload","Edit1",filepath+"{ENTER}")```
```
